Have you ever started out thinking you're going to do one thing, and turns out you end up doing something else completely different? Yeah, that... I started out on my photo hike this weekend thinking I would go to the historic downtown of a small city near me ~ well, really not so near. It … Continue reading Falling waters

Living in Northwest Florida, I'm within an hour of the Alabama border. I've about exhausted the state parks around here, so thought I'd take a drive to visit a park in Florala which is just over the state line. Florala ~ get it? FLORida and ALAbama, FLORALA? The park isn't very big, and other than … Continue reading Crossing the line

Eugene Smith I'm working on a new 365 Project, theoretically posting a new photo every day for a year. As I build that album, it's available … Continue reading Beckoning in the distance

Enjoying it while I can

As I did on Christmas Eve, I spent New Year's Eve at the beach. All of this gorgeous, warm winter weather has me a little concerned about the remainder of the season and that Mother Nature is saving up for something truly epic ~ apocalyptic epic, New Ice Age sort of cold. I'm a little … Continue reading Enjoying it while I can
